| These Bongo drums are great! There are a little smaller than I thought they would be but there are of great quality and have a great sound. My husband is a drummer and we have been through drums before that my boys just punctured right through the drum head. These are worth every penny! So fun! |

I like Remo drums. They make well-constructed drums at reasonable prices for all ages and uses. So I was hoping these inexpensive bongos would work well as spares for our drum circle, for adults or kids who don't bring their own percussion. But I've just received them today and found that when they are held between the knees, the sound is somewhat dull or deadened. I doubt that they will be loud enough in a drum circle to be satisfying (though for the price and Remo construction, they were worth a try).
I'd say if you have a young child who you want to encourage to play drums at home, these may still be a good choice because they will hold up well and are priced reasonably (and maybe because the sound isn't sharp enough to drive the rest of the family crazy). But if you want a half-way decent bongo sound these are probably not the best choice. |

| Grandson loves this set. A little trouble with shipping during the holidays, said in stock then got a note saying they wouldn't be here till after Christmas, received on Christmas eve. Well made and perfect for young drummers. |

My 18-month old is so enchanted with these bongos I'll probably be buying more drums in the Remo line for kids. Good, distinctive tones, extremely sturdy, and colorfully designed. Though she plays them herself, very often she'll bring the bongos to an adult to play for her while she dances. We've had hours of fun together with this toy -- which is also why I consider the bongos an exceptional value. Quality family time!

| Built well and prepared to take a beating | 2009-10-10 | 5 / 5 |

As a musician I have owned various Remo products in the past and while these aren't professional quality by any means, they are a fun, sturdy starting point for someones little fingers. The built in legs keep them just high enough off of the surface to allow the drum head to resonate (except on our medium pile rug) and they are strong enough to handle a smashing (I often find him beating on them with my drumsticks). The drum heads are not tunable, but they do sound quite nice right out of the box. The good thing about these is the sound actually gets better over time. As they loosen the tone gets nice and mellow. We used to keep a few of the earlier models of these Remo drums in the studio for recording because they had a surprisingly nice tone, nothing has changed there. Another bonus is I often find myself playing along to his favorite (Groove to the Music) music with them while he dances around the room.
The images on the drums themselves are of all different types of people and offer a form of entertainment in themselves. Often our son will become disinterested in actually drumming, but he'll sit there pointing at and asking questions about the various faces that are featured all over the drums.
For those of you about to click Buy I have a suggestion: out of the box the wing nuts should be checked for tightness. Ours came a little loose and the drums could twist a few degrees in each direction. My experience as a drummer also reminded me that after I tightened them down to put just a drop of Loctite THREADLOCK BLUE 6 ml. 24200 on each screw to keep the nuts from backing off over time.
All in all they were definitely a good buy. We both enjoy them immensely and I expect they'll be here for the long haul. |
